Unable to open database file (code 14): , while compiling: PRAGMA journal_mode

Question

Here is what I am doing in my DatabaseHelper class.

public DatabaseHelper(Context context)
    {
        super(context, DATABASENAME, null, VERSION);
        context.openOrCreateDatabase(DATABASENAME, context.MODE_PRIVATE, null);

    }


    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) {

        String queryProductsAllData = "CREATE TABLE `"+TABLE_PRODUCTS+"` (\n" +
                        "\t`"+COLUMN_BRANDID                +"`\tINTEGER,\n" +
                        "\t`"+COLUMN_PRODUCTID              +"`\tINTEGER,\n" +
                        "\t`"+COLUMN_PRODUCTCODE            +"`\tINTEGER,\n" +
                        "\t`"+COLUMN_PIECESINCASE           +"`\tINTEGER,\n" +

                        "\t`"+COLUMN_PRODUCTNAME            +"`\tTEXT,\n" +
                        "\t`"+COLUMN_PRODUCTSHORTNAME       +"`\tTEXT,\n" +

                        ");";
    db.execSQL(queryProductsAllData);

    }

 @Override
    public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion)
    {
        db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "+TABLE_PRODUCTS);
}
`

Here is the log I am getting.

Answer 1

I found what was wrong with my code. I was initialising TableHelper class in other helper classes' constructor and that was calling DatabaseHelper's onCreate again so that was making it lock the database.

Removed TableHelper initialisation from the other TableHelper's constructor and put it in method where it was needed.

Thank you.
